Spring Fest Saturday in Rogers City

June 4, 2013

ROGERS CITY - The Rogers City Spring Fest, complete with an arts and crafts show, music and activities for kids, is Saturday.

Starting at 10 a.m. and going until 6 p.m. at Westminster Park, the event will feature an arts and crafts show with a wide variety of offerings, organizer Debbie Stiller said. There also will be activities for children, and performances by a handful of acoustic musicians.

Artists and crafters will be selling everything from woodworking to photography, from jewelry to baked goods, Stiller said.

"It's a good, full house with a lot of new faces along with our solid regular crowd for the art show," she said.

There will be a number of events for kids, organized by the Key Club, a subchapter of the Kiwanis Club, Stiller said. These include games like bowling, and a clown will be performing as well.

The Kiwanis Fish Shack will be at the park, selling its fish sandwiches and fries, Stiller said. There also will be a Chinese auction of items donated by the artists and crafters participating in the event. Money raised will go to the Kiwanis Club of Rogers City to support future events.
